There was a $16 special for 2 people which include an appetizer platter, cashew chicken, and sweet and sour pork. One of the reasons Jake picked Wong’s Golden Palace was because there was a coupon in this “get1free” coupon magazine. Course, I didn’t bother to get up to take a photo, I just zoomed in with my camera. There were some little dioramas that I thought were kitschy and cute. They turned the lights on only when the sun was mostly gone. One thing I noticed right away was that there were no lights on in the restaurant… see that dark area behind Jake? That’s another room. I guess the lot was full because everyone was at the bar next door. There wasn’t anyone else in the restaurant when we first arrived and someone came in shortly after us. The parking lot is pretty tight in here but we were able to snag the last spot in the lot. On the far right is another entrance but that goes to the bar. The entrance to the restaurant is actually in the middle. Jake and I have passed the place a ton of times with it’s kind of retro fake “palace” exterior. I have a vague memory of going here when I was kid.
That’s how we ended up at Wong’s Golden Palace in La Mesa.
Jake and I had our 9 year anniversary recently (yes… 9!!) and for our anniversary Jake wanted to pick the restaurant.
